That's a great sale and I'd say Rick came out just fine on it..I wonder which adult company bought it.

 

[bytedo]

Now thats the kind of retirement we all dream of eh

What do we call this? A comeback? A notice like watch out guys Rick is still here?

I think the king never left. Cant quit. Wont quit.

Bet this wont be the last headline sale from him.

I have pornochain.com guess it is worth a little more now.

Why would pornochain be worth more because Rick sold porno.com for $8m?

 

[lock]

Because there is now a keyword reference to a price. http://www.dnsaleprice.com/
I am not claiming it is worth big dollars it is just worth more than yesterday.

 

[Zombies]

He bought the domain for $42,000 back in 1997

Damn, that is such good foresight.
$42 grand, for a "silly url" in 1997, would be like paying $8Million today!
congrats to him!

 

[Electric-Shadow]

He missed out such a unique opportunity to sell a domain for $6,969,696.9

 

[kawalsukhi]

Great sale!! Congrats to Rick Schwartz!! Hope we get more motivation towards domain industry!

Company from Czech Republic, Prague. Cant remember the name and am not logged at the moment at my DomainTools account to whois history. Anyway, buyer was listed in whois long enough to enter the whois history Now is private whois.

@lock I think I understand what you mean. Without wanting to rain on your parade or derail the thread, this sale has zero bearing on the value of pornochain.

You could make a new thread and see what others say. Of course I wish you the best with it

 

[thekiller]

Great sale.

Thanks - I actually think it's owned by the same people who own Swingers.com

 

[GravityEleven]

They do, this has already been covered if you took the time to read all the details.. they do also own the singular Swinger.com and many other top class adult domains..

He bought the domain for $42,000 back in 1997 - you can read about it here:

Wow, probably looked quite a risky investment at the time, but boy did it pay off.

Casino for example was sold in 2003 I wouldn't consider that last few years.

 

[Chris Hydrick]

8,888,888 (like the $888 really mattered at this point)

I need Rick to broker my recent hand reg, Porncite.com for me!

geesh!

It was a website sale, not just a domain. He built up a following and sold it to a bank.

True, the domain name came along with other assets. There are many more sales like that. In case you are interested.

The major porn tube Xvideos which also is ran by XNXX scooped it up. If you're bored do some research and see how much money they make. It's sickening! So damn sickening.

You can get the list of top 1000 sales here: http://dnpric.es/download/

this list means nothing without mentioning what was sold for name value and what for income etc..

namebio and everyone else shoudl take lessons from flippa that makes some distinction between name and website.. and just add a silly little column into sales history that says domain name only yes or no.

this makes research in future way more easy.. and fun too.. and discussions like this one here with long meaningless lists of names and values attached to them.. well.. it makes them meaningful.
